Not enough space for upgrade
Hi,
I'm in possession of a Lenovo Yoga 300, which has Win 8.1 on it. I offered to upgrade it to Win 10 for the owner (the notification says it's fine for this). However, the SSD is only ~20Gb, and after a disk cleanup has only approx 5 or 6Gb's free. Windows upgrade said it needed more (16 free if I recall).
How do I get around this? There's no optical drive, so would I be able to use a USB thumb drive to install 10, would that get around it? If I could get Win 10 on it through upgrade procedure, I could format the SSD and do a clean install via the USB again. If I'm right? Or do I tell them they're stuck with 8.1?
